We are extremely pleased to announce that the Eclipse Vert.x version 3.9.1 has been released.

Among all bug fixes you can find in 3.9.1 these enhancement.

## JDK 8 HTTP/2 support

Previously using the Jetty ALPN agent or netty-tcnative was required to use HTTP/2 on JDK 8.

TLS ALPN support has been back-ported to JDK 8 recently and Vert.x has been upgraded to support it, which means now you
can have HTTP/2 on JDK 8 out of the box. You need to most recent version of OpenJDK 8 or Oracle JDK 8.
